And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

except that you then turn around and give your 5 month old juice -- when the MINIMUM time is to be 6 months OR even the more generous 9 months.
No, doesn't sound most "healthy" or "natural" to me. in fact, it sounds darn near hypocritical.

Actually, I am dissatisfied because she keeps avoiding answering the questions, not because I don't like her answers.

If you felt so strongly that way....why didn't you exclusively nurse for the first year?

Correction, the MINIMUM time was when my dd's pediatrician said it was perfectly healthy to do so. And according to my dd's ped. as long as she was sitting unaided and showed an interest in the cup, introducing a cup with small amounts of juice or water, was perfectly healthy.
Are you suggesting that my dd's ped. would advise something that was unhealthy? Duh, no of course she wouldn't. I guess next you'll be accusing my dd's ped. of being a liar LOL. Perhaps my dd simply met her milestones a bit sooner than other children. Perhaps she was simply ready to be introduced to a cup earlier than other children might have been (must have been the breastmilk and bfing LOL).
BTW, I have said time and time again, that my dd experimented for several weeks, if not months, before she actually got any nutritional value from the fluids. Did you miss that part? Also, I'm sure everyone on this board has done something that wasn't 100% recommended such as: using cereal within the first few weeks/months of life, going out of town in the first few weeks/months after birth, not even attempting to bf (formula feeding from day 1), going back to work before one's maternity leave is up, offering baby food too soon, bottlefeeding, offering a blankie or a pacifier, etc. the list goes on and on LOL
Actually, it's the ol' "because my dd's *PEDIATRICIAN* said so" argument LOL :)
